Inspired by this change request

master and slave are a reminder of a painful world history, that is, they are racially charged terms.

I move that we purge these terms in favour of:

  • primary, replica
  • primary, secondary

Popular open-source communities have adopted newer references:
django/django#2692
redis/redis#3185

You are is sooo racist! Let me guess, they should also ban the word "black"?

Please stop keeping racism alive with this stupid shit.

It's the keywords/terminologies to related technical area. You can try to search for "primary-replica architecture" and see the results.
